4. Cherokee or Tsalagi Language (Native-Language.org)
   Provides resources on the language, history, and culture of the Cherokee."
   
   " 'Cherokee' is Creek for 'people with another language'. (It's really amazing how white settlers always managed to learn some other tribe's name for any group of Indians. They learned the Creek word for Cherokee, but not the Creek word for themselves.) Anyway, our original name for ourselves was Aniyunwiya, but Cherokee is fine too (though we say it Tsalagi--there's no R in our language). There are about 350,000 Cherokee people today, primarily in Oklahoma and North Carolina." 10-05

6. Stopping Municipal Water Leaks (Christian Science Monitor)
   "Though finally solved, the mystery of the creek that was a leak is an example of how utility districts in the US can't account for 6 billion gallons of drinking water each day. If all that lost water were collected over the course of a year, it would fill Gatun Lake, the huge reservoir that feeds the Panama Canal."
   
   "Georgia recently began requiring counties seeking water-withdrawal permits to first check their waterworks for leaks. Three other states, including Tennessee, are tightening water audit requirements, and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) has persuaded 300 communities to take part in a public-service campaign called 'Only Tap Water Delivers,' in part prompted by mounting water losses." 10-07

7. Making Heat-Resistent Kiln Bricks (SilverCeramicsSystems.com)
   "It is important to note that it is easily possible to improve the capability of a kiln to reach higher temperatures, simply by enclosing it, sealing it against a lot of heat loss. Next we need to consider that the biggest cost of kilns is the high tech bricks so widely believed to be necessary. But the reality is that in brick production the simple addition of common 'creek sand' to a common, red firing earthenware clay, plus sawdust, can be easily undertaken by those who are in the business of producing building brick. This will give a heat resistant brick for kiln construction, at little additional cost to that of ordinary building brick."
   
   "In practice, in making the brick it may be a good idea to use 75% clay to 25% creek sand, then whatever amount of sawdust, whether hard brick or insulating."
   
   "And sawdust, at about 60 mesh, can be burned out, leaving voids in the brick. Sawdust can contribute greatly to an insulating brick, cutting fuel costs and as an aid to environmental responsibility." 07-09
